페이스북, 트위터와 같은 클라우드 및 웹 서비스 제공회사와 클라우드 및 웹 서비스 제공자는 수많은 사용자들에 의해 발생되는 무수한 데이터를 빠르게 처리하기 위해 하드 디스크보다는 램에 저장 할 필요가 있다. 그러한 좋은 도구로서 분산메모리 객체 캐싱 소프트웨어인 멤캐시드가 있다. 멤캐시드의 성능은 저장공간의 크기에 따라 많은 차이를 보이는데, 하드웨어의 비용, 전력소비와 온도조절 등 공간의 제약을 감안했을 때, 무작정 개별 서버에 많은 RAM을 장착하거나, 서버 배열을 확장하는 것은 효율적인 방법이 아니다. 따라서 많은 양의 데이터가 메모리에 저장이 가능하도록 RAM과 SSD를 같이 확장한 SSD 기반 하이브리드 메모리를 제안한다. 하이브리드 메모리는 객체 캐시로 동작하고 페이지 단위로 할당하는 것보다 객체 단위로 자원할당을 함으로서 SSD에서 빠른 무작위 읽기를 할 수 있게 해 객체의 접근속도를 향상시켰다.

The interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies in the galaxy cluster can well be affected by the intracluster medium (ICM). Among many suggested environmental processes, ram pressure stripping can effectively remove gas through the interaction with the ICM. In fact, Cluster galaxies are lower in HI gas mass compared to their field counterparts, and in recent high resolution HI imaging studies, many galaxies in dense environments have been found to be ram pressure stripped in HI. However, it is still under debate whether the ICM pressure can also remove dense molecular gas from the galactic disk, which plays more important role in star formation and hence galaxy evolution. To answer this question, we have obtained high resolution 12/13 CO (2-1) data from the Sub Millimeter Array (SMA) of four galaxies at various HI stripping stages to study how the molecular gas properties change as the galaxy experiences the ICM pressure. We investigate the physical properties of molecular gas with 12/13 CO images. By comparing with other wavelength data, i.e. data(optical, HI, $H{\alpha}$, etc), we discuss how and in which timescale galaxies can migrate from the blue cloud to the red sequence due to ram pressure stripping.

A numerical study has been conducted to investigate flow characteristics of STED with ram structure shape. By increasing the attack angle of shock cone, vacuum pressure is increased because of oblique shock at ram structure and separation point moved to the downstream of the second throat. By increasing blockage ratio, expansion wave angle is increased at ram structure while vacuum pressure is constant.

This paper explains the construction of the filesystems which could be utilized in embedded systems as an implementation of ubiquitous computing. It includes the formal architecture of filesystem hierarchy for the DOC (Disk-On-Chip) filesystem and the flash filesystem based on the MTD (Memory Technology Devices). For DOC, the root filesystem and the user filesystem are constructed by the TrueFFS supported by the M-Systems. For MTD filesystem, the root filesystem is implemented in the fast RAM disk, and the user filesystem is implemented in the JFFS2 that supports large capacity. In order to support the GUI filesystem, the porting process of Qt/E is also included in this paper.

This paper describes design of a (32, 28) Reed Solomon decoder for optical compact disk provides double error detecting and correcting capability. The most complex circuit in the RS decoder is part for solving the error location numbers from error location polynomial, and the circuit has great influence on overall decoder complexity. We use RAM based architecture with Euclid algorithm, Chien search algorithm and Forney algorithm. We have developed VHDL model and Performed logic synthesis using the SYNOPSYS CAD tool. Then, the RS decoder has been implemented with FPGA. The total umber of gate is about 11,000 gates and it operates at 20MHz.

Flash memory has been attracting attention as the next mass storage media for mobile computing systems such as notebook computers and UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC)s due to its low power consumption, high shock and vibration resistance, and small size. A storage system with flash memory excels in random read, sequential read, and sequential write. However, it comes short in random write because of flash memory's physical inability to overwrite data, unless first erased. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose an SSD(Solid State Disk) architecture with two novel features. First, we utilize non-volatile FRAM(Ferroelectric RAM) in conjunction with NAND flash memory, and produce a synergy of FRAM's fast access speed and ability to overwrite, and NAND flash memory's low and affordable price. Second, the architecture categorizes host write requests into small random writes and large sequential writes, and processes them with two different buffer management, optimized for each type of write request. This scheme has been implemented into an SSD prototype and evaluated with a standard PC environment benchmark. The result reveals that our architecture outperforms conventional HDD and other commercial SSDs by more than three times in the throughput for random access workloads.

We study galaxies undergoing ram pressure stripping in the Virgo cluster to examine whether we can identify any discernible trend in their star formation activity. We first use 48 galaxies undergoing different stages of stripping based on H i morphology, H i deficiency, and relative extent to the stellar disk, from the VIVA survey. We then employ a new scheme for galaxy classification which combines H i mass fractions and locations in projected phase space, resulting in a new sample of 365 galaxies. We utilize a variety of star formation tracers, which include g - r, WISE [3.4]-[12] colors, and starburstiness that are defined by stellar mass and star formation rates to compare the star formation activity of galaxies at different stripping stages. We find no clear evidence for enhancement in the integrated star formation activity of galaxies undergoing early to active stripping. We are instead able to capture the overall quenching of star formation activity with increasing degree of ram pressure stripping, in agreement with previous studies. Our results suggest that if there is any ram pressure stripping induced enhancement, it is at best locally modest, and galaxies undergoing enhancement make up a small fraction of the total sample. Our results also indicate that it is possible to trace galaxies at different stages of stripping with the combination of H i gas content and location in projected phase space, which can be extended to other galaxy clusters that lack high-resolution H i imaging.

Galaxies undergo various processes in the cluster environment, which could affect their evolution. In particular, ram pressure due to intracluster medium (ICM) can effectively remove HI gas, which is a relatively diffuse form of interstellar medium (ISM). On the other hand, molecular gas is not expected to get easily stripped as atomic gas since it is denser and sitting well within the stellar disk in a deeper potential well. However, cluster galaxies are found to be redder and more passive in star formation activity compared to their field counterpart. This implies that molecular gas may also get affected somehow in dense environments. In this work, we investigate molecular gas properties of a sample of galaxies undergoing HI stripping due to the ICM. We present the 12/13 CO (2-1) data of four spiral galaxies in the Virgo cluster at different ram pressure stripping stages, obtained using the Sub Millimeter Array (SMA). CO morphology of the sample appears to be highly asymmetric and disturbed. Using the ratio of different lines, we probe the molecular gas temperature in different regions. We find higher gas temperature than the range normally found among field galaxies. We discuss how these distinct molecular gas properties may affect star formation and hence the evolution of the cluster galaxy population.

The NAND flash memory based SSDs are considered to replace the existing HDDs. To maximize the I/O performance, SSD is composed of several NAND flash memories in parallel. However, to adopt the hybrid mapping scheme in SSD may cause degradation of the I/O performance. In this paper, we propose a new mapping scheme for the SSD called WADPM. WADPM loads only necessary mapping information into RAM and dynamically adjusts the size of mapping information in the RAM. So, WADPM avoids the shortcoming of page-level mapping scheme that requires too large mapping table. Performance evaluation using simulations shows that I/O performance of WADPM is 3.5 times better than the hybrid-mapping scheme and maximum size of mapping table of WADPM is about 50% in comparison with the page-level mapping scheme.

Slowly, but surely, we are seeing the emergence of a variety of embedded systems that are employing Storage Class RAM (SCRAM) such as FeRAM, MRAM and PRAM, SCRAM not only has DRAM-characteristic, that is, random byte-unit access capability, but also Disk-characteristic, that is, non-volatility. In this paper, we propose a new software architecture that allows SCRAM to be used both for main memory and for secondary storage simultaneously- The proposed software architecture has two core modules, one is a SCRAM driver and the other is a SCRAM manager. The SCRAM driver takes care of SCRAM directly and exports low level interfaces required for upper layer software modules including traditional file systems, buddy systems and our SCRAM manager. The SCRAM manager treats file objects and memory objects as a single object and deals with them in a unified way so that they can be interchanged without copy overheads. Experiments conducted on real embedded board with FeRAM have shown that the SCRAM driver indeed supports both the traditional F AT file system and buddy system seamlessly. The results also have revealed that the SCRAM manager makes effective use of both characteristics of SCRAM and performs an order of magnitude better than the traditional file system and buddy system.
